Skill Building Mother Eats Peanut Butter
Many generations of chemistry students have used the memory aid “mother eats peanut butter” to remember meth–, eth–, prop–, but–. Use this, or another memory aid of your choice, to tell how many carbon atoms are in each of these compounds.
- a. Ethanol (a component of some beverages and a gasoline additive)
- b. Methylene chloride (a component of paint strippers and a possible indoor air pollutant)
- c. Propane (the major component in liquid petroleum gas, LPG)
